Ocean Grove, New Jersey recently was designated as one of the greatest neighborhoods in New Jersey for 2017. This year’s award given to Ocean Grove as the Best Neighborhood Award was under the great places in New Jersey program.

The program is sponsored by the New Jersey Division of American Planning Association.

The award was given based upon a number of broad range qualifications with each nominee needing to have a definable sense of quality.

Many people consider Ocean Grove to be the Crown Jewel of the Jersey Shore. The designation is a high point for the town, which many considered to be in a renewal and resurgent neighborhood along the Jersey Shore.

Ocean Grove population is approximately 3,400. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized for having an abundant number of examples of Victorian architecture.

Ocean Grove was founded in 1869 as a result of the camp meeting movement within the United States.

During the 1990s through 2006 Ocean Grove experienced a dramatic increase in property values as there was a revival in the fortune of the town, which brought about a restoration of all the structures that had deteriorated over the years. It was during the 1960s to the 1980s that the town declined along with much of the New Jersey seashore.

This is truly an important threshold event since it shows that the town has returned back to a heyday time that it had enjoyed many years ago.
